Six African leaders head to Ukraine, Russia to negotiate peace
Six African leaders, South Africa, Egypt, Zambia, Senegal, Uganda, Republic of Congo, have concluded plans to visit Moscow and Kyiv to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war.
South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, would lead the delegation with the other heads of the African countries.
Mr Ramaphosa had been accused of favouring Russia, despite its officially neutral stance on the ongoing war.
The visiting countries have taken different positions in the war. South Africa, Uganda and the Republic of Congo abstained from a United Nations resolution earlier this year, condemning Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion and demanding it withdraw its troops.
Although Zambia and Egypt voted in favour of the resolution, Senegal did not participate.
Mr Ramaphosa’s spokesman, Vincent Magwenya, said the delegation’s trip was “imminent,” although exact dates were not made public due to security concerns.
